LOFT's shortcomings

1, short board, ventilation and lighting.

LOFT usually has several households on the first floor, so there is a problem that the proportion of darkroom and depth is not harmonious. Generally, the window of the living room is large, and the upper and lower floors can be used, but this is far from enough. The effect of lighting and ventilation is much worse than that of ordinary houses.

2. The cost of living is relatively high.

Limited by the nature of property rights, LOFT generally uses electricity and water for commercial purposes, and the cost is about twice as high as that of civil engineering. At the same time, LOFT generally has no gas, and cooking can only rely on induction cookers, rice cookers and other equipment, which will also increase electricity consumption; In addition, the property fee of LOFT is relatively expensive, which greatly increases the cost of living.

3. Low privacy.

The attic room has poor sound insulation effect, many commercial houses and households are chaotic, and many apartment-style hotels and offices are mixed, which will cause life troubles.

4. The decoration cost is high.

LOFT's decoration cost is relatively high. Usually the lofts we buy are rough houses, and then we decorate them ourselves. The upper and lower floors should be separated by themselves, adding floors, stairs and handrails. In addition, relevant waterproof measures should be taken. Therefore, in terms of decoration costs, LOFT spends 4-65438+ 10,000 more than ordinary houses.

In addition, LOFT has no two-story height, so when it is divided into two floors, the height of the upper floor is lower than that of ordinary houses. This requires furniture size, so it is difficult to buy suitable furniture. Many times, furniture also needs to be customized, which invisibly increases the decoration cost.
